"Cleveland is all about a city of just earning eve "Cleveland is all about a city of just earning everything. Blue-collar mentality. You don't have much, you just earn it. All blood, sweat and tears. So being from Cleveland to go to New York and LA, and bring back something home for All-Star Weekend, a full-circle moment for me." - Streetball legend-to-lifestyle brand entrepreneur Brian “Smokin’ Aces” Kortovich

During #NBAAllStar, @smokinaces1 and his company @aces co-hosted the ACES Lounge in Tower City (along with @complex), and the ACES Battle of the Platforms at Cleveland State, where some of the best in sports media battled it out on the court. #CU360 #Insiders

“My kids are everything to me. A lot of people t “My kids are everything to me. A lot of people think I’m guarded and overbearing, and if they read my book, they will see why. I wasn’t protected, so I protect. In fact, why some people might think I’m a momma bear, it’s because they’re simply all I got.” - Gina Tucker on her kids, Terry Rozier, Tre’Dasia and J’Maine

This past #NBAAllStar in their hometown of Youngstown (outside of Cleveland), @rozier, @mommag_310, Tre’Dasia (who battles through cerebral palsy) and the family refurbished the Charlotte Hornets star’s youth rec center through their 12 Blessings foundation. Gina also released her book, saying, “@theblaqprint is my story. Telling this story was very difficult at times, but I feel it will help people with similar backgrounds to see and receive a similar perspective, and how that rock bottom isn’t rock bottom. My heart in book form.”
